Subject: wish: option to install to local directory
It would be nice to have an option to install the modules into a directory specified, rather than the default. It appears that the 'CPAN' module handles this phase. I poked around for a few minutes, but couldn't find the right to affect this behavior, but I'm sure it's possible! Mark

I created a patch to address this, but my CPAN username/password didn't automatically work to commit as the documentation implied it might. Patch attached. Mark
